ABSTRACT In this article, ITS sequences of 34 species in Bulbophyllum genus were researched. Alignment between ITS sequences from the species was performed, and discovered that average percentage sequence divergence (uncorrected p distance) within Bulbophyllum species was 9.87% and maximum in-group ITS divergence was 13.68% (between B. membranifolium with B. sulcatum). Molecular systematic analysis of ITS was revealed that, 34 species of Bulbophyllum were monophyletic and they were divided into six groups, which is partly inconsistent with the viewpoint of morphological classification of Bulbophyllum in Peninsular Malaysia. Keywords: Bulbophyllum, Classification, ITS Sequence, Orchidaceae, Peninsular Malaysia INTRODUCTION epiphytic and they are found in different habitats Bulbophyllum Thou. is the largest genus of ranging from (sub) tropical dry forests to wet subtribe Bulbophyllinae (Schlechter, 1926).

  • Bulbophyllum Trongsaense (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae: Dendrobieae), a New Species from Bhutan

China. *For correspondence: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Bulbophyllum trongsaense is described as a new species from Trongsa district of Bhutan. Detailed morphological description, distribution, phenology, ecology and colour photographs are provided along with comparison with B. amplifolium to which it shows closest affinity. Keywords: Bulbophyllum amplifolium, B. nodosum, Endangered Introduction Orchidaceae is the largest and most diverse family of flowering plants (Pearce & Cribb 2002, Gurung 2006, Chase et al. 2015) consisting over 28,000 species in 736 genera with new species increasing day by day (Christenhusz & Byng 2016). Orchids occupy almost all habitats on earth except the glaciers; however, they show highest diversity in the tropics (Gurung 2006). Bhutan, the part of Eastern Himalayan Hotspot is home to rich flora and fauna. Pearce & Cribb (2002) recorded 369 species for Bhutan and about 579 species from other Himalayan regions, but this number is surely an underestimate and Bhutan is likely to harbor around 500 species as many parts of the country are still under surveyed (Pearce & Cribb 2002, Gurung 2006).

Several new sections introduced in that publication are formally described and validated here. Key words: Bulbophyllinae, Dendrobieae, infrageneric classification, large genera Introduction Opinions about the number of genera within the former subtribe Bulbophyllinae (now subsumed in the tribe Dendrobieae) vary between extremes. Some recognized only a few small satellite genera in addition to the mega- genus Bulbophyllum, e.g. Vermeulen (1996), whereas others, e.g. Clements & Jones (2002) and Szlachetko & Margońska (2001), divided the genus into numerous smaller genera. Over the years, more than 50 generic names have been proposed in addition to Bulbophyllum. In Genera orchidacearum (Pridgeon et al. 2014), supported by unpublished DNA studies by Gravendeel and coworkers, only a single genus is recognized within the former Bulbophyllinae. However, that publication presents only the outline of a revised classification of Bulbophyllum. A more detailed account of the Asian and Australian sections of Bulbophyllum is in preparation by the authors.

DADKHAH2 1Department of Biological Science and Biotechnology University of Kurdistan, Sanandaj, Iran 2Department of Statistics, Faculty of Science, University of Kurdistan, Sanandaj, Iran *Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Bulbophyllum Thou. is largest genus in Orchidaceae family and a well-known plant of tropical area. The present study provides a comparative morphological study of 38 Bulbophyllum spp. as well as molecular sequence analysis of large subunit of rubisco (rbcL), to infer the intergeneric classification for studied taxa of genus Bulbophyllum. Thirty morphological characters were coded in a data matrix, and used in phenetic analysis. Morphological result was strongly consistent with earlier classification, with exception of B. auratum, B. gracillimum, B. mutabile and B. limbatum status. Furthermore Molecular data analysis of rbcL was congruent with morphological data in some aspects. Species interrelationships specified using combination of rbcL sequence data with morphological data. The results revealed close affiliation in 11 sections of Bulbophyllum from Peninsular Malaysia. Consequently, based on this study generic status of sections Cirrhopetalum and Epicrianthes cannot longer be supported, as they are deeply embedded within the genus Bulbophyllum.

  • CITES Checklist for Bulbophyllum and Allied Taxa (Orchidaceae)
    Sieder A., Rainer H., Kiehn, M. (2007): CITES checklist for Bulbophyllum and allied taxa (Orchidaceae). (1) This checklist for Bulbophyllum and allied taxa (Orchidaceae) has been prepared as a result of recommendations endorsed by the CITES Conference of the Parties and has been approved by the CITES Nomenclature Committee. It s preparation has been made possible through funds received from the Austrian Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Environment and Water Management- the CITES Management Authority of Austria.. (2) It was prepared by A. Sieder, H. Rainer, and M. Kiehn, Department of Biogeography and Botanical Garden, University of Vienna (Austria), after a global consultation process with numerous specialists of the taxonomy and systematics of this group. A draft version of this checklist was made available for comment on the CITES website and Parties informed of this through Notification 2005/049. The comments received by Parties were incorporated in this revised text. (3) It is a pragmatic approach to handle the huge number of species of the Bulbophyllinae in a checklist suitable for the use of non-botanists. Therefore, the genus Bulbophyllum is dealt with in a broad sense. This does not express any opinion or preference of the authors as regards the taxonomic rank or circumscription of subdivisions or segregates of the Bulbophyllinae. Such statements will, if at all, only be possible after the finalizing of ongoing molecular studies on the Bulbophyllinae (i.a., by B. Gravendeel, Leiden, and M. Kiehn & G. Fischer, Vienna/Salzburg). (4) If taxa now considered to be members of the Bulbophyllinae have synonyms assigned to genera outside of the Bulbophyllinae, these names are included in the alphabetical list.

But trying to catch up and keep track of what is happening (Vide Circular No. TOSKAR/2016 Dated 20th May 2016) in the world of orchids at Bengaluru. I am given to understand that the months of August and part of September, Bengaluru saw incessant rains and at times heavy! rains are always welcome and good for Chairman orchids in a way. Only word of caution is, orchids grown in pots may Dr. Sadananda Hegde have too much of wetness, please check and take appropriate action to prevent the plants getting diseases and you may lose the plant. Having said this, it is also the growing period for most of the orchids and also Members blooming time for many of the interesting terrestrials. Also, another issue which all of us have to be aware in this period of wetness is the Mr. S. G. Ramakumar incidence of slugs and snails. If unchecked, these can devastate your Mr. Sriram Kumar collection. Editor It is heartening to see that many of our members have developed Dr. K. S.

  • AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (27/4/2006) by Mark A. Clements
    AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (27/4/2006) by Mark A. Clements and David L. Jones Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research/Australian National Herbarium GPO Box 1600 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Australian Orchid Name Index (AONI) provides the currently accepted scientific names, together with their synonyms, of all Australian orchids including those in external territories. The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state.

The full name of the plant - (a) family name, Poaceae (b) genus, Triticum (c) species, aestivum (d) subspecies, N/A (e) cultivar/breeding line, Cadenza (f) common name. Common wheat/ bread wheat 4. Information concerning - (a) the reproduction of the plant: (i) the mode or modes of reproduction, (ii) any specific factors affecting reproduction, (iii) generation time; and (b) the sexual compatibility of the plant with other cultivated or wild plant species, including the distribution in Europe of the compatible species. ai) Reproduction is sexual leading to formation of seeds. Wheat is approximately 99% autogamous under natural field conditions; with self-fertilization normally occurring before flowers open. Wheat pollen grains are relatively heavy and any that are released from the flower remain viable for between a few minutes and a few hours. Warm, dry, windy conditions may increase cross- pollination rates on a variety to variety basis (see also 6 below).
